Giaconda and Franklin Ramos have
been in the U.S for 20 years, since the mid 90’s they have been trying to
obtain legal citizenship. Although their documents might not say there
“American” they are Americans at heart, they have a whole life in this country including
two sons that are legal U.S citizens. Over the years they have been granted
stays, but on Friday they were ordered to leave the U.S and return back to
Ecuador.
A protest occurred in front of the
Immigration and Customs enforcement in Hartford, it was a plea of desperation
to save Giaconda and Franklin Ramos from deportation. Although the
demonstration ended peacefully 35 protesters were arrested. Giaconda and
Franklin Ramos plan to not take refuge and hope they can tie another green card
through the sponsorship of there son.

Our Country currently is receiving
lots of hate and backlash from citizens about policies and societal issues, regarding this
it intrigues me that people like Giaconda and Franklin Ramos are lining up to
live in a country they love although it might not love them back. This made me
realize it’s not our Country, which we should be mad at, but the administration
running it.
I think this is so horrible, if it's such a big problem to be considered a citizen, then why doesn't our government try to work with the people who are requesting citizenship? I get that standards need to be reasonably high, but I feel as though there is a little bias going around through the decision making.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. Those people are Americans and have very fairly earned the right to abide in this country.
